    摘要: A modified valley fill circuit, including a main ballasting inductor for supplying an electrolytic capacitor, has an additional charging winding on the main ballasting inductor for charging the electrolytic capacitor to a predetermined voltage which maximizes the power factor of the input current by optimizing the conduction angle of the input current. In a discharge lamp ballast, the modified valley fill circuit reduces the lamp current crest factor by controlling the frequency with a lamp current control loop.

    摘要: The resolution .DELTA.C of a binary capacitance ladder having a plurality of N branches is precisely determined by appropriately selecting the value of a fixed capacitor in each branch relative to the parasitic capacitance of a corresponding series-connected switch. The capacitance of each respective branch varies by 2.sup.n-1 .DELTA.C, where n is the number of the branch, adjacent branches being numbered sequentially. The total capacitance is variable between C.sub.Total and C.sub.Total -(2.sup.N -1).DELTA.C in steps of .DELTA.C, where C.sub.Total is the sum of the capacitances in the ladder with all switches closed, and C.sub.Total -(2.sup.N -1).DELTA.C is the capacitance of the ladder with all switches open. For any particular branch of the ladder, the switch capacitance may be further controlled by adding a fixed capacitance in parallel with the respective switch. Such a variable capacitance is useful as a tuning capacitor in an electrodeless HID lamp ballast.

    摘要: An impedance matching circuit for a self-oscillating electrodeless fluorescent lamp ballast of the type having an inductor connected in series with the parallel combination of a capacitor and the lamp's drive coil includes an additional capacitor connected in series with the drive coil. The capacitance value chosen for the additional capacitor is dependent on: stresses on the parallel capacitor; matching the impedance of the ballast; and the impact of the capacitor on the loaded coil phase angle. The additional capacitor reduces the phase angle presented to the ballast, thereby lowering the sensitivity of the ballast to component and lamp variations. In addition, the overall impedance of the network is reduced, such that the required inductance of the series inductor is reduced; hence, the inductor can have fewer turns and lower conduction losses. The current in inductor for the required power level is lower, resulting in a further reduction in conduction losses as well as a reduction in core losses due to lower flux in the core. Still further, a reduction of stresses on the inductor results in a reduced operating temperature, and hence increased efficiency, reliability and ballast life.
